Following his arrest on Friday for the death of a fan during the December 4 launch of Pushpa 2: The Rule, Allu Arjun’s co-star Rashmika Mandanna voiced support for him. The actor, who attended the Sandhya Theatre debut as well, wrote a note describing his arrest as “disheartening.”
Rashmika shares an Instagram stories about Arjun’s arrest. She wrote, “I can’t believe what I am seeing right now. The incident that happened was an unfortunate and deeply saddening incident. However, it is disheartening to see everything being blamed on a single individual. This situation is both unbelievable and heartbreaking.”
Arjun went to the Sandhya Theatre on December 4th to see Pushpa 2: The Rule premiere with Rashmika and his spouse, Allu Sneha Reddy. As a result of his presence, hundreds of admirers flocked to the theatre, causing a chaotic scenario that escalated.
It resulted in a woman’s death and her son’s hospitalisation. Since then, Arjun and the theater’s management have been arrested after the police filed a formal complaint against them. After the Nampally Court placed Arjun on a 14-day judicial remand, the Telangana High Court gave him a 4-week interim bail on Friday.
